WEBVTT 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:15.679 Today I have another system from Crazy Russians Crazy Lab. This is the Vesta 00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:22.160 5350 OC and this is going to be a pre-overclocked system. Now we will be 00:00:18.119 --> 00:00:25.199 using the stock default Intel CPU cooler 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.840 which has about 3/4 of an inch of 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:31.840 aluminum finish going on to cool that. No, we're not going to do that. We're 00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:36.120 going to be using the Cool It Eco liquid cooling system. So, this is a 120 mm 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:41.120 radiator with a copper heat exchanger as well as a built-in 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:47.200 pump. That is what we will be using. We will be installing it in the Fractal 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.800 Design Define R3. And this is the system 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:53.039 configuration we will be using. We have this over here for validation purposes 00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:57.680 only. The system will not come on a high-speed PC tech station. So, what do 00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:03.039 we have in terms of spec? Well, this is the 5350, so somewhere in between the 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:08.320 5300 and the 5400. It is also the OC. So, we will be pre-overclocking the CPU, 00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:12.240 although we have not yet validated the overclock that we'll be using. So, 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:16.320 that's going to be to come in a video down the line. This will ship in its 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:22.880 default configuration with 8 gigs of RAM, a GTX 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:25.280 560Ti, a 2500 K unlocked CPU. Remember, 00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:29.200 for overclocking on the 1155 platform, you do have to have a K series unlocked 00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:36.079 CPU or you're not going to be going very far. And what we also have here is down 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:41.680 at the bottom, we have an SSD. So, that's a 40 gig SSD. Now, I've always 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:46.880 been of the mind that 40 gigs on an SSD is not nearly enough for a boot 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:54.320 partition, but what we're actually using, and this is the Gigabyte Z68X 00:01:50.520 --> 00:01:56.159 UD3HB3 right here, is a Z68 board. So, 00:01:54.320 --> 00:02:00.439 we're taking that 40 gig SSD and we're using it as a cache using Intel SRT 00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.200 technology which is featured on this board for the Western 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:11.440 Digital Caviar. Oh, well, hold on. Sorry 00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:15.680 guys. Crazy Russian was going like this to me and I thought he meant like, you 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:19.040 know, one moment please or you're number one or something along those lines. But 00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.360 no, that's not what he meant at all. What he actually meant was this is a WD 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:27.680 Caviar Blue 1 TB that we're using for the boot drive. So, we're using smart 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:32.640 response technology to accelerate our boot drive without having to buy a 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:38.000 larger capacity, more expensive SSD to boot off that exclusively. Since we're 00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:42.239 down here, actually, we also have a CIC M12 00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:48.319 uh 620 W power supply that is with 80 plus bronze efficiency. And let's move 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:52.440 up to the motherboard itself. So, this is the Z68X 00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:56.959 UD3HB3. And if that's a tongue twister, then, well, you need to work on, you 00:02:55.280 --> 00:03:02.000 know, not being puzzled by easy tongue twisters, I guess. Um, but what it is is 00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:05.840 it's a Z68 board. So, that's what gives us support for Intel Smart Response 00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:08.879 Technology. What we also have support for, and you're going to have to come 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:15.280 around and look at the back of the board for this, is onboard video with HDMI, 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.959 DisplayPort, VGA, and DVI, as well as 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.840 right there, you see that little sticker that says Lucid Virtue. So, we can use 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.720 Intel quick path technology. I think that's what it's called, right? Quick 00:03:23.519 --> 00:03:31.680 path. I don't know what I don't know what it's called, but it's the one that makes your video transcoding go really, 00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:34.040 really fast. Maybe it says on here. 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:38.640 Virtue virtualization for the onboard GPU. Yes. 00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:41.519 Okay. Yeah. See, they don't they don't say 00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:45.680 either. Either way, it doesn't really matter. What you get is better 00:03:43.920 --> 00:03:50.560 efficiency at idle because you're able to use the onboard GPU. Whenever you're 00:03:48.239 --> 00:03:55.599 idling or doing anything 2D, you can use the onboard GPU. Yeah. So, there's the 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:59.360 idle power consumption of the system. 56 watts. I know, right? It's like almost 00:03:57.760 --> 00:04:02.720 nothing considering this is a full-blown gaming machine. 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:06.640 You can use the onboard GPU for video transcoding, which it just kicks butt 00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:10.480 at. It's way faster than using the CPU. It's way faster than even using a 00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:14.400 high-end dedicated GPU. And then when you're gaming, you can actually use the 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.479 power of your dedicated GPU. You can still output. Actually, I think the 00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:22.000 optimized mode is to output through the dedicated GPU and then virtualize this 00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:26.320 one. Either way, you can use this for gaming, this for what it's good at, and 00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:33.280 you win. You get better power consumption, great gaming performance, and great video transcoding performance. 00:04:30.080 --> 00:04:34.800 Now, with the Z68 chipset, uh, yeah, 00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:38.000 that's pretty that's those are the main features you get. We also have support 00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:42.960 on this particular board, which is an awesome value. That's why we went with 00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:46.080 this one for NVIDIA SLI technology as 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:49.199 well as AMD Crossfire X. So, we can run 00:04:46.080 --> 00:04:50.800 up to two cards in SLI or Crossfire. You 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.960 can configure your system either way you want. And that'll be running in 8x8x 00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:59.919 mode, which as we've tested in the past on my show, does not give you any sort 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:05.280 of a performance disadvantage versus running in 16x and 16x mode. The board 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:09.120 also has dual BIOS, which is nice. That's a great overclocking friendly 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:12.400 feature because it means that even if you screw something up when you're 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:17.120 overclocking it on your own, remember your NCIX PC warranty is not invalidated 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:19.600 by overclocking. So, I mean, this is going to come pre-overclocked. You can 00:05:18.479 --> 00:05:24.080 see if you can push it a little bit further if you want. That's also good. 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:27.680 Um, you can recover to the main BIOS if you screw something up, which is great. 00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:31.280 You've also got a solid power delivery system, especially for a board in this 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:36.080 kind of a price bracket. That's a 6 plus one phase power design with lower RDS 00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:40.000 MOSFETs and ferite core chokes. Also, solid capacitors. And I think that 00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:43.440 pretty much covers everything to say about this little guy. Oh, actually, one 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.160 more thing. Check this out. So, the front USB right here. So, your two front 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:52.639 USB ports will be hooked up to the one with the red background. And what that 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.720 means is that it can deliver up to 40% 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:58.639 more amperage on your front USB. That means you can actually charge your iPad 00:05:56.400 --> 00:06:02.880 or even a tablet if you have the utility installed on your PC. And you can charge 00:06:00.960 --> 00:06:05.600 it right off a USB port without using a power adapter from the wall. So, thank 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:10.160 you for checking out my little introductory video of the Vesta 5350 OC. 00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:15.520 And hopefully you guys will stick around and check out the video once we've got the overclock validated, once we've got 00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:19.120 it all built up, and once we have this thing priced out. Cuz I don't even have 00:06:16.960 --> 00:06:22.720 a price yet. We're just making sure that it's going to be awesome first.
